Godox X3 Trigger not pairing with canon EL 5 speed lite

[Arunjovan]

Hi experts,
I recently bought godox X3c trigger and a canon EL 5 speed lite I tried to pair it but doesn’t work I am using canon EOS r6 mark ii camera. Could anyone please help me to do it. I tried several ways but not working.

I'm no expert but based on my experience with flash trigger and recievers, essentially you need to set your flash to receiver mode (has built in receiver ) via it's menu as the godox x3c is in transmitter mode or master. Then next you need to set on X3c the group and channel number . After this set the flash mode like ttl, manual or custom. Also canon R6ii has flash group settings so read the camera manual and el-5 user manual too. Not to mention X3c.
But as always a video is helpful. Btw I assume you want to use flash off camera.

Do note Xc3 is for godox flashes so it's not specifically designed for canon el-5 but it uses the same 2.4 ghz frequency. Canon has it's own trigger St E10 but I guess it's cost more hence you bought godox. Xc3 compatible with canon R6ii.

El-5 flash.

TTL exposure has it's problems so you need to know how to use it effectively.

Are you trying to trigger the EL-5 via wireless communication from the XC3 on your camera? I don't see that described anywhere.
If you want to turn your EL5 into a wireless flash, you need a Godox trigger and a Godox receiver, both for Canon.
Here, 'Compatible with Canon' means simply that the trigger/receiver combo transmits the Canon specific flash control signals that would normally run through the hotshoe. It does not mean that the Godox trigger can drive a Canon flash via wireless signals. (Similar to autofocus on RF mount, Canon would have a very strong Opinion about such a function offered by a third party manufacturer.)
